This is SpaceX so I assume they meant cybertruck

So you’re saying it was Space Jesus?

Considering it was under Mao that Xi’s family was exiled it is a rather salient comparison.

Edit: and we can know how much power Mao had by how big of a power vacuum he left. The fact of the matter is it is a single party republic, and that’s why Mao was replaced with someone more sensible. If there was a sizable power vacuum things would not have turned out this way.

I mean at least 1/3 of Americans say it’s why we have the 2nd amendment. And 2/3 of the Supreme Court would likely agree, just they wouldn’t admit we are at that point where it is necessary. It’s ingrained in our culture down to the American revolution. But yeah, whenever leftist groups arm themselves they get wiped out, see the Black Panthers as an example.

Xi has no more absolute power over the government than Mao had (who was forced to step aside). And saying it is in no way democratic is patently false considering all their politicians need to be elected in at the local level. Lastly, Xi’s family was exiled from Beijing and they survived only to have Xi become the leader.

Cops in my town arrested parents that were handing out water to the students that walked out.

Exhibit A on gallows humor that works in this situation: https://youtu.be/m1r9VtdIMDM

I agree I don’t care much for the jokes from Colbert and Stewart, but I wouldn’t say comedy is the problem. These c9medians seem to think making jokes about hypocrisy is pushing the envelope when its not even the minimum.

Maybe 1% of them are winning

The CCP says the same in regards to how it’s equipment does against American planes. The key factor is which side is more capable of adapting.

Fewer cars does not mean fewer cars on the road. Autonomous cars means more cars driving on the road at any given time as now you have empty cars going from person to person. It’s less safe from a total VMT perspective. And they sure as hell will use this as an excuse to not give us mass transit.

Not necessarily. Same number of people are doing the same amount of travel by car, but now instead of the car sitting at parking lot it is driving off to do another errand. More efficient in terms of fewer cars needed, but overall it’s more vehicle miles and more congestion.

More modern democracies like Taiwan have 5 branches of government because thing like the DoJ is just too powerful to be part of another branch.

I blame Chappelle Roan for not being more clear on who we should vote for /s

You make it sound like democracy is a linear phenomena. There are likely tradeoffs

Is there a newsletter but it’s just about what evil person has died for that day? I feel like there’s a good market for that.

Guy literally has cancer. It’s friggin elder abuse what they did.

As one does when they lack a spine

What did the US say at the end of the war? Iran out of bombs.

Being gay is now optional, the crimes part is not

The best is yet to come!
